HighWire has announce a new member of its partner programme, Semantic Scholar.
Semantic Scholar is a free discovery tool that leverages AI research and engineering to use methods from data mining, natural language processing, and computer vision to make research more discoverable to the global public. It is funded by the Allen Institute of Artificial Intelligence.
Semantic Scholar will apply their semantic tools to HireWire publishers’ articles, and index the content and related metadata extracted from their analysis in order to provide an enhanced discovery experience for researchers.
Content will be indexed and discoverable via Semantic Scholar’s discovery search tools on its open and freely accessible website. As with other open discovery services, only the metadata of an article will be freely available via Semantic Scholar; if the user wants to access the full text they will be directed back to the publisher's website for COUNTER-compliant access to the original articles.
This service will be rolled out free of charge to all participating HighWire journal publishers as standard over the next month. If any publisher wishes to opt out from this service, and not have their content indexed by Semantic Scholar, HireWire should be notified by email by 6 November 2019.
